Oh, yes. But it will be hit and miss.
You could use Ian Currie's Grid Method, with your Duncan glaze as the
control C, adding kaolin for A and Flint for D (both for B)
But it would be so much easier if manufacturers of Glazes actually had to
tell us, by law, the composition of those glazes, then we could see, almost
at a glance, what should be added to create the changes we desire.
But secrecy rules OK! Not many of them are with us on Clayart and openly
sharing what we have found. But I suppose they have to make a living,
whereas we don't?
So, learn about glazes and make your own, using Raw Materials which you know
are true to specification, or you can have analysed at reasonable expense.
Then test, test and test again, until you have a perfect glaze to leave to
your dependants when you pass on.
